  • Patent number: 12388474
    Abstract: Techniques are described for direct conversion and dynamic polarization control in a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) outdoor unit (ODU). The ODU includes a direct up-converter and/or a direct down-converter for converting in a single stage between a baseband frequency and a satellite radiofrequency band (e.g., Ka band). The ODU also includes a polarization amplifier that integrates high-power amplification with circular polarization orientation control. For example, the direct up-converter directly converts a baseband signal to a low-power satellite-RF transmit signal, and the polarization amplifier converts the low-power satellite-RF transmit signal to an uplink signal having high gain and selected circular polarization. The ODU can further include an integrated embedded computer and modem.
